Aziz Ansari Comes to Madison Square Garden, 10/8

Live Nation in association with Carolines on Broadway announced Rolling Stone's "funniest man under 30", Aziz Ansari, will bring his Modern Romance tour to Madison Square Garden on October 9th. Tickets are on sale now through www.ticketmaster.com, charge by phone and select Ticketmaster outlets. If tickets remain they will be available at the Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and Beacon Theatre box offices on Sunday, June 14th.

Aziz Ansari co-stars opposite Amy Poehler in the beloved Emmy and Golden Globe nominated NBC series "Parks and Recreation," which is now in its sixth season. Ansari's portrayal of government employee 'Tom Haverford' has earned him critical praise including Entertainment Weekly naming him one of their "Breakout TV Stars," TV Guide naming him a "Scene Stealer" and People Magazine naming him 2011's "Funniest Dude in Prime Time."

Ansari's stand up work has been unparalleled over the past few years. He recently embarked on his "Modern Romance" comedy tour that traverses North America over the spring. His second hour-long stand-up special "Dangerously Delicious" was self-released online through AzizAnsari.com for $5. In 2010, he had an hour-long standup special on Comedy Central titled "Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening." The special and subsequent DVD/CD were both extremely successful and both albums continue to be a mainstay on iTunes' comedy best-seller list.
